Best Friends Insanity

New Faces

>Be Karkat<

I woke up before my alarm which I remembered to turn off. I got dressed quickly and grabbed my phone from its charger before entering the bathroom. I inspected myself; I wore a layered shirt, black t-shit with red long sleeves. Black skinny jeans and black slip on vans on the lower half. I attempted to brush my hair before putting on my baggie black beanie and brushing my teeth. I left the bathroom just in time to avoid Kankri and any possible lecture.

I threw on my black sweatshirt with a dark grey cancer sign on the front and stuffed my phone into the pocket. Kankri and I both grabbed our backpacks and hopped into our new car. Kankri drove first obviously; I didn’t have my license yet anyways. Since he’s a senior and I’m a junior, he got out earlier than me which meant I’d have to take the bus home after school. It can’t be any worse than I’ve been through already. Today’s going to be a piece of cake.

{End of school}

Today was really boring and completely uneventful. (hence why it’s not in the story) I grabbed all my things from my locker and hurried to the bus, hopping to get a good seat. Today wasn’t horrible at all, I actually made some new friends, I think. I met these two girls in art class and one comented on how she liked my shirt, despite being blind. A few awkward conversations later, we ended up exchanging numbers and they’ve been texting me all day. Nepeta Leijon is telling me her story of being the new kid and how easy it is to make friends at school.

“Even if you are a crabby Karkitty.” She giggled after telling me so. Terezi Pyrope is the other girl I met today. She’s blind yet an amazing artist believe it or not. Fucking weird right? I sat in one of the middle seats, hoping Gamzee would be on the bus. I couldn’t find him and the bus was just about to leave, who am I kidding? He probably drives himself or with his friends.

I rolled my eyes with a groan and stared at two kids sitting in the seat in front of me. One of them turned around with a strange expression and then laughed when he saw me.

“You new or thomething?” He cleared his throat when he finished laughing.

“Yeah, you retarded or ‘thomething’?” I mimicked his lisp, perfectly, if I might add.

“Nope, my teeth grew in too big, like fangth.” He opened his mouth to show me, it was kinda cool.

“Well shit, guess I found the fucking vampire.” He gave me another weird look. I rolled my eyes. “it’s a movie reference dumbass.” I sighed.

“Jeguth, kith your mother with that fucking mouth?” He chuckled. The girl he was sitting by now turned around and watched us.

“Nope, how about you Casanova?” I chuckled back. It actually kind of hurt to say that with a smile, my mom’s been dead for at least 10 years by now…

“Uh, no actually…” He seemed upset as well. The girl patted his shoulder and he regained his weird happy yet slightly nerdy smile.

“Sollux stop fighting with the new guy!” She giggled. I raised an eyebrow.

“Thollux Captor.” He looked to me with a smirk.

“Karkat Vantas.” I responded.

“I’m Feferi Peixes! It’s nice to meet you.” The girl giggled again.

“Do you guys know Gamzee Makara?” I asked after a moment of awkward silence.

“Yeah! He’s part of our group actually! Are you guys friends?” Feferi beamed with never ending joy.

“Old friends.” I shrugged. “I haven’t seen him in 5 years. We only moved here so I could be closer to him.”

“How fucking romantic.” Sollux laughed, which earned him a nice smack on the back from Feferi.

We all fell silent again and I resorted to my music.
